[Just trying to make a point and probably the best reason for joining. At 49 cents a minute (if you spend $100), this is a fraction of the price of other cam sites, not that I am an aficionado of this stuff.]

* A good number of amateurs which is a plus and minus.

* Customer support is much improved. I've had several legitimate complaints about the girls over the years. I often get an apology, a credit and they kick the girl off the site.

* Mostly Eastern Europeans, Latinas and Filipinos - I never came across anyone from the US. I consider that a plus.

* A rating system that mostly works along with comments made by users. You have to take the comments with a grain of salt though, since some are bogus. But as a whole, they're helpful. There's also a 5 star rating system which is useful.

* Uses CC for credit cards - I never had an issue

* Half price specials every so often

Cons:

* It is not private chat and you start paying the moment you enter the girl's room. Some models ignore you (or don't notice you're there).

* Many of the models will drag on chatting as long as possible to maximize profits, no matter what you say, i.e., TAKE IF OFF B!THCH -- just joking. I can understand that but some are unreasonable. All the while, you're paying.

* Some models will only chat and it might take 5 minutes or more to realize that.

* The majority of models are 6 or under though there are 9+'s on there also.

* I've heard that management is late with payments to the models and is not a primary concern of theirs. This is an unsubstantiated rumor. The women only get half, the site gets the other half. And they get less if they're going through a sponsor's computer, which seems to be common. The low payments to the models may affect the quality of women and explain why there are no Americans.

Bottom Line:

To be clear, the high score given by me is based on both value and quality. If I had to break it down, it would be 100 for value and 70 for quality.

This site is modeled differently than other sites and I think it works. With other sites, at least the ones I'm aware of, you get to chat with the model before entering the room and start paying. But it's difficult to chat with a model when there are umpteen other people trying to do the same. There could be a dozen or so guys chatting along with you.

On Extasy, you go right into the room and start paying. Since it doesn't seem to be a very popular site, the models are often alone or with one other person. This is particularly true at off times, i.e., not the weekend. You generally get the same interaction here when you enter as you would if you entered a room in another site. The drawback of course, is that you don't have the opportunity before you start paying to judge the model. All in all, I think the system works as long as you keep in mind you're paying from the moment you enter the room and you take a few moments to look at the rating and reviews of the model.

I've been a member of this site for many years. I don't use it very much cuz as I said, cams aren't really my thing. So bear in mind, I am not all that familiar with the competition. However, I do enjoy it every so often. Usually, $100 worth of minutes will last a month or two or more.

Before entering a room, you get photos to look at and a quick live blurb. There's also a description written by the models which should be completely ignored. Many of them just use the same one the girl who occupies the room during the other shift uses. The best indicator if a model is good is the number of stars that users have given her and how many ratings she has. You get all this info before entering. For example, if someone has 5 stars and has only 1 rating, it's meaningless. It could be the sponsor who gave her the star. But if she's got 4 stars and 20 or more ratings, than you're chances are excellent of having a good experience.

I have mostly good things to say about my experience. I've come to understand the ratings which minimizes my chances of having a bad experience. I also have a rule of thumb that I give the woman no more than 5 minutes to show me she's serious. However, sometimes I don't mind just chatting and getting little exposure. I figure for the price, it's not a big deal.

I notice that many cam sites charge upwards of $1/minute. I would constantly be watching the clock if I was paying that. Here, I don't worry about it so much.

There is also the option of tipping (in minutes). Some models are aggressive about it saying they'll only do such and such for a tip. Mostly though, I rarely get asked for a tip though I make it a habit to leave one if deserved.

slick and easy-to-use interface
lots of performers online at all times
high-quality HD cams

Cons:

some expensive cams
Watch out for Fake Cam-girls, they won't do what you ask them to do and you can easily tell its a recorded vid that loops

Bottom Line:

Streamate is an excellent cam site. Besides the high-quality cams and variety of performers, the prices are generally decent and the various options (many performers have sound and cam2cam options) provide a complete experience. Serious cam-girl fans need an account here and any beginners should start here in order to appreciate what a great experience a cam site can be.

There are many girls to choose from. The girls apparently make more on this site than on other sites.

Cons:

There seems to be no search function that allows for the age, height, weight, etc., parameters. Instead they allow you to search by the asinine tags the models themselves input on their profile page. I cannot figure out how to "favorite" models and I've looked for a way, repeatedly. The site tends to be a little wonky and I wish the max cam window size was larger.

The site has some excellent features and some great models. It is relatively easy to "give gold" (i.e., tip), and unlike other sites, the mechanism is automated with timers and counters for "gold shows". Video is very clear and so is audio when available. No serious lag issues.

Cons:

For some reason, I got banned from the system without warning. That caused my favorites to disappear as well as private emails sent with video links. I didn't know I was banned, so I simply restarted the session and saw that everything had disappeared (emails and favorites), but was being directed from a secondary site so I thought that may have been the norm. Anyway, come to find out that they not only banned me, the blocked my credit card from all other payment processors. I still have no idea what my violation was-- I was tipping regularly, and being respectful, and hadn't had time to decline any charges. Nothing from their customer service to explain- just a "see yaÖ you're banned foreverÖ how can I help you further?" email.

Bottom Line:

I don't know the trick of staying on board this system. Obviously it works for some people. But once you get kicked off, be prepared to have to reinstate your credit cards because they do an awful number on you in some sort of unwarranted retaliation.

04-04-1408:03pm (Update History)Reason: Rules applied to models have changed impacting the content of the site in a major way.

Pros:

*Models are REAL.
*Allows men and women on cam.
*Free (for real).
*Tokens are reasonably priced.
*Video quality is superb (as long as model has a good cam).
*Easy to navigate/can filter by region.
*Lots of "programs" available to models so they don't have to manage tokens/games/prizes for tipping.
*Color coded chat text.
*Ability to have moderators in chat room.

Cons:

*Cannot view other avatars/previews when viewing the cam (like on MFC).
*Chat window could be nicer (e.g. bigger/different fonts).
*Billing company does not work with all credit cards (e.g. need Pay Pal option or CCbill).

Bottom Line:

This site has come a LONG way since I found it just under a year ago. Yes there are not as many models as MFC, but this site has a lot going for it. I have found myself visiting it more than MFC as time goes on for one reason: IT ALLOWS MEN ON CAM.

Why is this good? No I am not into blow jobs, but what I am into are exhibitionist women--and there are a lot here! Since men can be on cam, you can peep in on girls who are naked around their male friends and roommates. I like casual/public nudity and girls do not get banned or punished for having a male voice or a man walk by. So the models tend to be much more open about their nudity around others, which is great. This makes the voyeur element of cam watching much more exciting...and this means they also have a couples section (an added bonus).

In addition, there is a good selection of women but mostly Thursday-Sunday and at the end of the month (PAYCHECKS!!!). The overall quality of the video feed is very good (for models with nice cams and high bandwidth). Another nice feature of the site is the tokens/tips are managed by programs that models can customize. This means that models spend more time playing/chatting and less time using a calculator or asking what the count is. They can also sell "tickets" to shows, set up tipping games, and set "goals" on the fly. Very intuitive all around and the programmers are adding new features almost every month.

In short, the "feel" of Chaturbate is impressive. True MFC has the premium models, but most are not "real" like they are on Chaturbate. Also, with all the other features they make available (e.g. mods) the experience has the potential to be the best on the internet.

The major downsides are the hoards of people in some rooms (which makes it near difficult to chat) and the fact that the billing companies are not as well known. I had an issue buying tokens, so I just didn't (and missed a good ticket show because of it!). I think that a PayPal option or CCbill would resolve this. Finally, the site operators should try to revamp the layout/graphics a bit. Its too bland and a good graphical overhaul would give this site the shine it deserves.

Bottom Line: Look for Chaturbate to compete more and more with MyFreeCams. I say this because the amount of tipping/private shows has increased dramatically over the last year...this tells me that I am not the only one straying from MFC more and more each moth looking for something more exciting than hoards of solo girls (which can get old).

Definitely worth your time if you are a video voyeur and like to chat with real models--tokens always help.

***UPDATE 4-4-14***
The webmasters at the site instituted a new ban on several practices that hurt the site IMO. 1-No one is allowed to cam outside for any reason. 2-No fisting or "big" toys. This means that I must lower my overall score (from a the original 91).

Some of the most exciting shows were outside! Several models (who had made "camming" outside their thing) have left as a result of the new rules. Also, some of the models who used big toys have left.

I understand enforcing rules to protect models, but their strict enforcement undermines the freedom of the site that I had come to like like so much (and what made it noticeably different from MFC). Now it appears the site is converging toward the MFC autocratic model. I am guessing from the chat rooms that others feel the exact same way, and my guess is that this will impact the site in a negative way in the months to come (especially as spring and summer approach). At least MFC doesnt ban outdoor camming....

- Plenty of models online Ė rarely fewer than 1,000
- Great variety of models, and no shortage of absolute stunners
- Lots of variety in terms of shows, too, with lots of creativity
- Many models are on daily, and for many, many hours
- Most models are polite and obliging and look after regulars
- Likewise, most members seem to be respectful
- The site can be as cheap or expensive as you make it
- Easy to browse models, and I love the live preview feature
- Many models offer upsell videos/private galleries for tips
- Simple to buy more tokens (although arguably this is a con)
- Billing by CCBill or Epoch (depending on your preference)

Cons:

Points marked with * don't bother me personally:

- Clearly, MFC can be addictive and expensive
- Itís easy to overlook hotter models due to low camscores
- No ideal way to bookmark favourites/hide least favourites
- The website is quite basic/low-fi in a few respects
- Less popular models can sometimes be a big clingy
- No hardcore action*

Bottom Line:

This is my first cam site. As people have said before, itís an addictive concept but if you do have self-control it should be a fairly inexpensive way to enjoy some pretty hot talent.

There is a huge mix of models, and although itís personal preference, about 15% are really hot, 30% are good looking, 25% pretty average, 15% not really to my taste and 15% being pretty ugly.

The homepage displays all available models as profile pics, but you can toggle onto live cam preview mode which is a great feature and makes it easy to jump into a room that suits your immediate taste.

You can filter what models you view, too Ė you can filter by region (eg, Asia, South America, USA, etc) and how the models are sorted.

You can watch all cams as a free member, although most models mute basic/free members meaning you canít chat.

CAMSHOW FORMATS

The majority of models follow a pretty simple principle of flashing for tips, working towards various targets such as topless, nude, masturbation/toys or cumshow.

Many models try different and fun ways of getting members to tip such as clearing a whiteboard of various token amounts to go nude, a lucky dip whereby you tip an amount and behind a card will be an action the model performs, strip poker etc etc.

Some models will do the same format with every show, some will mix it up.

TIPPING CUSTOMS

You can be a freeloader on MFC, but you have to be careful. You can only really get away with being a freeloader in a busier room where people are tipping. In moderately busy rooms, itís generally fine if youíre not asking the model to do too much. If you go into a quieter room, the model will probably be pleading for tips. Tokens are a maximum of $0.10 each. Typical tip amounts are:

10 tokens is probably the least you can tip without being stingy
50 is generally a typical amount for a tit-flash
50-10 is typical for a pussy flash

The amount for models going topless or nude varies too much to even summarise, but the lower the camscore, generally the lower the target (or at least, more flexible).

Other things models will often accept tips for are Skype shows, adding them as a friend on MFC, even giving you their phone number. If privates are open, theyíll often expect a specified amount of tips before going private.

A lot of models offer videos, often hardcore, for tokens. Hang around in the room before buying just to make sure the model isnít offering a special discount (most generally do).

INTERACTION FROM MODELS

The least I have got from models is Ďthank youí in reply to a compliment or tip. Most are better than this, though, and normally address members by username and engage in conversation. Most do this verbally, some with the chat function. Some models are more about stripping than chatting, some are the other way round.

Most models are really chatty and engage well with fans, particularly if English is their first language. Lots of others make an effort, while some others just sit there looking bored.

Less popular models will often instigate conversation by PM, which is nice but obviously their agenda is to encourage you to tip. This is a bigger problem in the less popular rooms. One model I follow is particularly clingy and will PM even when youíre not in their room.

When browsing, I normally click on Ďmenuí under their thumbnail as that shows how many people are in the room. If the number is under 10, thatís a quiet room and thereís a higher chance youíll feel obliged to tip.

USING MFC

You donít need to have a membership to browse and watch, but in the majority of rooms you need to be a premium member to interact with the models. You only need to buy 200 tokens to unlock these extra features.

Topping up with more tokens is easy; you can top up with 200 ($19.99, $0.10p/token), 500 ($49.99, $0.09p/t), or 900 ($74.99, $0.08p/t). Itís easy to top up using CCBill or Epoch.

Keeping track of favourites isnít as refined as it should be. You can get emailed when a favourite comes online, but thereís no on-site notification. It would be nice just to see a page of favourites and whether theyíre online or not.

Make sure you scroll right down the cam show listings. Thereís a greater chance of ugliness, but thereís a lot of hotties who havenít amassed a high cam score. Some are hot and some really try, but I guess itís a Ďrich get richerí scenario where the models with the high cam scores will get more-and-more popular.

Read modelsí profiles before you join their room. Some will take great pleasure in tearing you a new one for asking them to go nude for 10 tokens when theyíre actually non-nude models.

BOTTOM LINE

Itís a great site with a lot of great models and a respectful membership. The interface is a bit clunky and not as refined as it possibly should be, but itís an addictive site that can take up a lot of time (and money).

If you liked my review, let me know and Iíll let you know which camgirls to look out for.

I would like to recommend this site to all webcam viewers. There is an excellent selection of models on the site and the pricing is very reasonable. This is a site where you can spend the whole without spending a cent. However you do more have when you are tipping.

Cons:

I dont think there are many cons i am into couples and there could be more of them. But on Friday and Saturday night US time its like prime time. Some of the cams are average quality but once again most are pretty good.

Bottom Line:

On a personal note I had a problem with a performer not doing what they said they would do. Chaturbate fixed this up straight away. Their billing systems are fair and are not out to rob from you. I think it is the best and most honest site on the Net. I would strongly recommend a visit to this site you will love it.

The site itself is very well engineered and laid out, so functionality is easy (as it should be). Payment setup, searching, notating favorites, and even sometimes tweaks to the video stream are all easy to accomplish. They also have a "gold" button which allows you to throw more money at the ladies if you decide to.

Cons:

I frequent this site about least 3 or 4 times a week and find "success" is pretty hit or miss (not even 50/50) due to girls who either want to talk for an hour or girls who just start ramming dildos in their orifices.

I still have a problem with my webcam working on the site. The dialog box just freezes up when I attempt to select settings to have cam to cam and their online chat support was absolutely useless in helping me fix this issue, just copying/pasting a bit of verbiage that didn't help and then signing off immediately.

They started using a larger default player window which often exceeds what the stream originates as (by quite a bit) so the image quality can often be soft.

Many of the prettier ladies use a trick to entice a viewer into paying to see them in that as soon as you load their stream they switch into "in session" mode so you have to then pay to see them.

Bottom Line:

It's easy and I haven't found an alternative that I like better (livejasmin or onhercam), so I feel like there is value in it.

*A lot of free clips, and they can go topless in the clips.
*The models are fun, and beautiful..... Unlike some other sites... Just sayin.
*Members get discounts on live shows. 20% off.
*Mchats are all archived. So you can re-watch them.
*The members area has tons of picture, and videos to watch.
*The staff is helpful, if you have any problems.
*Models on CWH that have their own sites, allow CWH members to access them; without any extra fees.

Cons:

*Forum could be a bit more active, but most people don't go to cams site for forums; obviously.

Bottom Line:

Camwithher was the first caming site, Iíve ever been too. And, to this day, itís the only one that I still go to. I usually just frequent the forum. But, when I was a mod, I attended Mchats, and all the good stuff.

The girls are friendly, and so are the other members. The staff are always eager to help you, when you need it. The members area is PACKED with photo sets, and videos to keep you entertained. The Mchats are my favorite part. The models are always eager to have fun, and give the members a great show.

The forum used to be packed with members, but the last few years itís been pretty dead. But, itís been getting a bit more active, then it has been; the last few years.

Like all websites, there is room for improvement. But, itís one of the most solid cam sites, out there.

Great looking babes. A large selection of ladies to choose from also. The ladies with HD cameras gives you a real nice feeds. Not really necessary to spent a dime to really get off. The girls are friendly.

Cons:

The cost of Privates and groups are expensive. You need a good amount of self control to not over spend.

Bottom Line:

If you are into the live cam scene. It probably the best run site. The babes are hot.

-there are usually 800 to 1200 models online at any given time, and another similar amount offline. There are many, many very attractive girls here! Every body type, nationality, porn niche, and personality type can be found here.

-I hope the site administrators dont get mad at me for saying it, but it is easy to enjoy most of what this site has to offer without spending a dime! You simply go to the site and enter any model's chat room as a guest. You can also register as a "basic" by giving them your contact info (name and email). Guests and basics cannot join group shows or do privates, but many models do strip shows and masturbation shows in their public chat rooms once paying members have tipped the requested amount.

-for paying members a video is made of all private chats you do, and kept indefinitely in your archive

-you can add a large number of models to your favorites list, and get notified by email whenever they log on

-private messaging/emails to models

Cons:

-MFC is more expensive than most webcam sites ($5 a minute for private chats if you buy 900 tokens at a time). Some models do offline Skpe shows for online tips that work out to a cheaper rate than this.

-one of my biggest gripes is the lack of a user comment section for private chats. You can rate the private, and send a comment to the model, but you can't make a comment that can be read by the general membership. You can leave a comment on her profile page, but the vast majority of those are not comments about private chats.

-As others have noted, you can get addicted to webcam sites, and MFC is no exception. In addition to blowing a lot of money, you can also waste a LOT of time here. If you're low on self discipline, you're probably better off never visiting the site.

-the spot a model gets on the homepage is determined by her cam score (which is essentially based on how much money she makes). At times this seems unfair-maybe they could come up with something different

Bottom Line:

MFC and Streamate are my two favorite webcam sites, and I meant to write this reveiw right after I did my review of Streamate, but I ran out of time. Both sites have good and bad points.

One thing about MFC that is different from other webcam sites is how the membership interacts with the models. Its a little difficult to explain, but the end result is that you can get to know a model better at MFC than probably any other site. The chat room has a list of all premium and basic members on the right, a chat display in the middle, and the model's video feed on the left. The more popular rooms will often have an active ongoing discussion between the members and model that can include anything as the topic (how her day is going, what type of sex she likes best, etc). If you go into a models chat room on a regular basis, over time you will learn a lot about her. In addition to this, there is a private messaging system, so you can talk one on one with a model if you have anything to discuss with her that you don't want the general membership to see (like what you would like her to do in a private chat). Most models do some type of countdown show, where they will do a strip show and/or masturbate after a certain number of tokens have been tipped by everyone in the room. This usually results in a lot of time for the members to interact with the model. This along with the combination of active public chat and private messaging results in a better interaction with the models than any other webcam site I've been to. Again, its a little hard to explain, but MFC definitely does this well.

A few things are worth noting for new members or persons who have never been to a webcam site before.

First, many models work multiple webcam sites. If you see a girl typing for no apparent reason, she may be interacting on another site. So there will be times when you type a comment in the chat room and the model doesn't immediately respond. It doesn't mean she's being rude. Other sites have their own unique sounds that you may learn to recognize if her sound is on(MFC has a distinctive "chime" sound when the model gets a tip).

Second, video quality will vary with the models equipment. In general, it's still not that good, and no where near true HD quality. MFC did recently add a full screen video option, but if a model is streaming at VGA quality, it will be pixelated. This is one of the more disappointing things about webcam sites, but obviously will get better over time.

Third, there are a lot of European girls here, and not all of them read and speak good English. If you have specific requests for a private chat, make sure she understands what you want before you the click the button.

Fourth, there are a few models on every site who are "time wasters" in their private chats. They will stall for time by typing questions, dancing, and generally not getting naked and doing what you want them to do. When I encounter this, I end the chat very quickly, but not before I let them why.

Finally, you really need to set yourself a monthly budget if you are going to use these sites. It is very easy to blow a lot of money. You have to ask yourself what you are looking for at a webcam site that you can't get from a regular porn site. If you don't have a good answer, then stay away from them if you don't have self discipline. I did what a lot of people probably do, initially spent a lot more money than I should have, before settling down to spending very little.

MFC prides itself on paying the models more than any other webcam site (supposedly 50% of the tips versus 25% to 30% at other sites). That's all fine and good, but I wonder if they do anything to help new models learn the ropes if you will. I've seen quite a few new models who are very attractive and you would think should do well, but they end up doing poorly, having their cam score fall like a rock, and dropping down to page 2, where very few members go (btw check it on a regular basis--there are some really hot girls there too). They may have a FAQ for new models, but I've seen too many new models make common errors that result in their cam score dropping. Things like not showing their face on their video feed, setting a token target for a strip show that is way too high, wearing too much or otherwise not showing enough of their body to get members so horny that they can't resist taking them private, etc. Having just said that, I guess I would be remiss if I didn't call out all of the assinine members who type rude comments, and the never ending crowd of freeloaders who never tip the models. I really feel bad sometimes for some of these girls. They put up with a lot of BS on a daily basis, and everyone's always wanting a free show. So guys, be nice to the girls, and do tip them if you can.

Bottom line, you can have a LOT of fun at MFC (and other webcam sites), but be careful with your wallet.

-there is a large selection of models (100s), with many very attractive girls. Quite a few are unattractive, but you should be able to find dozens that you like.

-models can do "Gold Shows" which are typically priced from $2 to $5 for a show that lasts 5 to 10 minutes. Most girls do a fairly standard routine in their gold shows, but its an inexpensive way to see what they've got, and what they're willing to do.

-private chats here are not as expensive here as some other sites (like MFC or Naked.com). They are typically $3 a minute, and often less. Many of my favorites are $2 a minute. The model sets her prices.

-you can spy on the regular pvt sessions. Once you enter, you'll be charged for a minimum of one minute. But it makes it possible for you to check out the girl's body for a few bucks if she doesn't do gold shows.

-you can click on a button that makes your chat invisible to other users...so only the model sees what you type.

Cons:

-the model notification thing they have that notifies you when one of your favorites is online has never worked for me.

-the favorites list (where you have your list of favorite models) has also never worked properly for me. I think it allow about 10 to 12 models per page, but when you go to page 2 or 3, often you find models that were on page 1 or 2. When you go back to page 1, it's not the same models listed as when you first opened it.

-some of the European girls struggle with their English, which can cause problems when you are trying to explain to them what you want them to do. Fortunately you can email them on their model page if you need to explain something that might be complicated (saves time in private chat)

-models can permanently ban you, and it has happened to me a couple of times for absolutely no valid reason. Other sites set a 30 or 60 day max ban length. One model I am fairly sure banned me by accident (confused me with another member w/similar name).

Bottom Line:

I first got into Webcam sites about 2 years ago, and have tried several since (Naked.com, MFC, Streamate, Live Jasmin). Streamate is tied with MFC as my favorites. On Streamate, I usually only do Gold Shows, but if I can find a model that I really like, and her private chats are $2 or $3 a minute, I will occasionally do a private chat.

As others have noted, Webcam sites can be addictive, so you have to be careful. When I first got into them, I checked my credit card statements after the first 5 months, and was shocked when I added it up and had spent over $2000! I looked in my mirror, and said WTF dude, are you crazy? Now fortunately I have a good job, and I do get to work a good bit of overtime, but I decided that it generally wasn't worth it. So I banned myself from the sites, or more specifically from doing private chats. I've fallen off the wagon a few times, but nothing major.

If you're going to use these sites, you have to ask yourself what do you get from them that you can't get from the typical $30 a month video porn site. There is an intriguing element of "reality porn" with these sites, in that you can tell the model exactly what you want her to do. When you add to that the fact that you will find models that are very appealing to you both physically and from a personality standpoint, it is easy to see how it can become addictive. In my case, I love to watch a girl doing a slow strip tease in a fairly specific way, and then masturbating with her fingers until her pussy gets really juicy and she cums. I haven't found a regular porn site that has the models perform exactly how I would if I were the director. So I still do the occasional private chat when I find a girl that I really like.

One tip that I can give to newbies is to make sure you use a video capture program to make your own videos of your private chats. MFC and Live Jasmin are the only 2 sites that I know of that do it for you, and I think it costs extra on LJ. I use Capture Wiz, and have been very happy with it. It has a time counter on it, so you can track your time in the private chat (Streamate does not have a counter for you to monitor).

The private chat rating comment section is very useful here, and you should definitely read a models comments before doing a private chat with her. If a model is a "time-waster" (stalls for time with needless questions or otherwise doesn't listen to you), someone will generally have made a comment about it. I always take the time to leave a comment after a private chat. If you have to leave a bad one, be advised, the model will probably ban you.

The last thing that I should mention is the subject of video quality. This will obviously vary from model to model depending on their video equipment, but none of them on any site will even come close to true 30 frame per second 1080p HD video. I do like some pussy close up time in my private chats, so I usually ask the model to zoom on her face in free chat to see what her cam quality is. Some of the girls only have digital zoom, but a few use camcorders and can zoom right in with very good quality. Ten years from now the "net" will probably easily handle true HD video streaming, and webcam quality will be much better too. It's going to even more addictive! Hopefully I'll be a rich dude by then.

intranparent kredit system
loss of ALL kredits without using a chat
a complete rippoff and fraud
incompetent support

Bottom Line:

This site is a complete rippoff and fraud. if you would like to get you kredits stolen without using a chat this is the right site for you. if you complain they pretend to think that you complain about a kreditcard fraud not a kredit loss in their system. after 5 days nothing happens, no answer, nothing.

- easy to register (free) & use
- loads of hosts online in different categories
- regularly updated (althought the functionality doesn't change a lot of the times)
- good speed
- regular games to enjoy with hosts

Cons:

- no free chat : there is no way other than self posted pics to assess hosts
- cam quality varies
- host profiles can be limited and not always a true reflection

Bottom Line:

- a really great site, with loads of choice
- recommend to everyone to have a look see

Usually between 800 and 1400 models are available and can be viewed in my favorite setting "Cam Previews Small" where you see a quick picture of what was happening on the model's page only moments before.

This is a fascinating microcosm of model performance with everything from non-nude pretty girls chatting to active models performing self gratification or gratifying other models with hands, tongues, and dildos.

The site is free and for many can provide hours of free entertainment. The temptation to go from just a "guest" to a signed up member to a paying "premium member" who tips and gets extra status with the models is VERY TEMPTING, however.

Cons:

No male models, no trannies, no heterosexual couples. Only females here.

If you have a lack of self control, you might be like me and spend huge amounts of money here to be a "big shot" and have some of the prettiest girls you've ever seen smiling, kissing, oohing and aahing when you greet them. It is a fantasy experience that is far more addictive than the sex you see here. Chatting with pretty women who pretend you're important is very addictive....BE WARNED.

Bottom Line:

On the whole I love the site and have spent lots of time looking for another cam site that compares.......none do so far.

-newbie american girls dont stay long
-regular porn now boring
-addictive and expensive

Bottom Line:

well now im bored of regular porn. these webcams are amazing. i only chat with americans so its kinda fun to seek them out. most will do what you ask, some wont. it seems this is their 1st site they join when tryng out cams before they go to mfc if they get popular, so if you find a good girl dont waste any time in freechat. other times they just give up. not tipping doesnt seem like a problem with the girls here

video and sound quality varies among the girls, but thats not a website problem, thats the girls trying to use their crappy macbooks

recognized the site first time in 2002.
i got a member there in 2007 first time.
Before, after u pay to renter the site (something under 20 Ä)u got a lot in free chat, many girls online doing shows, u didnt need to pay more. 24 hours a day.Just the cam quality was a bit poor.

In 2008, they changed the layout of the site, also they changed that girls just talk in freechat, for more you need to pay more now in private rooms.
So if you want to join the site in his sense, it will be an expensive matter.

Also a lot of good, sexy long-established girls left the site, and the new girls doesnt have the qualitiy in their shows.
that change is a reason for me, not to join this site anymore.

If they will go back to the style it was before 2008, i immediatley would go back there.

Was a member in the past and so I signed up without checking out The Best Porn's rating. Big mistake.
In the past the Free chat portion consisted of young girls doing a softcore but sexy strip show. Site seems to have gone way down. Membership is inexpensive but still offers no value. You must pay more for nude chat.

Excellent site! They have hundreds of beautiful girls live on cam, including everyone from some hot college girl in her dorm room, to famous porn stars. You can have lots of fun without ever spending a dime. Or you can pay for a private show, or tip the model for a little something extra.

Cons:

The site takes a huge percentage of the tips that the models get. i don't really agree with this. i understand that the site has to make money off of the private shows, but 100% of tips should go to the models, in my opinion.

Bottom Line:

It's a great site. A lot of the girls on there are really cool, and they're all super hot!

A few months since the last review and I would say there are actually a surprising number of models/shows here.

Some of the girls are actually extremely hot. Much more so than you expect for webcam stuff like this anyway.

You can actually see quite a bit without having to private. Basically stripping is free, anything beyond that is going to cost you.

The tipping/credits are noway near as expensive as other places.

You can broadcast yourself, private chat, etc. I could see where this might potentially grow as a sort of naked social network.

Cons:

I have seen at least one person on there you will never convince me was over the age of fifteen. I'm not saying this so all you kiddie porn pervs can check it out. I'm saying this because this is one of those questionable elements on the internet where there may be too many people to ever police or monitor. I don't blame Chaturbate either, somebody gets an account and then someone else is doing the shows, it can be a little tricky to catch on. At any rate, just be warned that from time to time you may see someone on there who doesn't look legal. Some of these people are in foreign countries with different laws. Either way, I find many of the people on here to be of questionable standing. I personally would hate to think I am contributing to some sort of unregulated or illegal sex trade.

Bottom Line:

I think this site has a lot of potential, but it's sort of the old Spiderman cliche about responsibility. Personally, I would like to see them make a greater effort to assure me, as someone who might actually spend money, that I am not contributing to something most of us would probably find immoral.

At the same time, you should all be adults and you should be able to navigate through the various shows available to see what you think is best. I certainly don't want to dissuade anyone from visiting or participating.

There are some good and fun models that can and will give you an enjoyable time

Support is generally ok

Cons:

Price, especially for EU citizens, because the site runs with Dollar = euro policy. BIGGEST minus there and the reason Iíll not come back when my last credit is spent.

Small traps to lure you into paying more money. The site wants money for everything and I mean EVERYTHING. (more on that later)

Some design issues (more on this later)

You can rate a model, but you canít warn others about her/him in anyone, since the site restricts the possibility of member interaction outside the chatrooms. You canít even write a negative comment on their wall, because it will get deleted. So basically thereís no real way for users to give a fair review of a performer.

Some bad bad bad models.

Some models English is very limited.The actual number of online performers is in fact smaller than what the site promise, the reason being that many models have more than one profile pointing to the same live cam.

Bottom Line:

This site is very expensive and itís actually cheaper to get a real call girl in my country, than to get the same level of satisfaction on this site. This is just wrong.

The site itself:

As for the site it is generally well design. They recently updated their design, but I used the old one, which you could still use. I found the new design far too buggy; then again perhaps it was just my browser.

There are a lot of categories to choose from and I canít imagine that youíll be looking for long before (you find what you are attracted to pure physically. The site does this very well, when you have found her/him the is the possibility to roll over the preview image to get a live fee for the performers cast, which is good since the preview image more than often seems a little too good to be true.

The problem with the design when you get deeper down though is you discover that it in my opinion is design deliberately to trick people into keep buying Ďservicesí. E.g. becoming a member and getting credits doesnít really give you anything special accepts the possible to get into the private with the performers. The site then offers a Top member service, which is more money out of your pocket promising a lot of could stuff, but as in turns out, if you buy this youíí get a few nice abilities, but as it turns out youíll find yourself again seeing even new things you can get for just a little more credit. And so it gets piled on and on. The sites information level on these extra goodies are extremely well Ďhiddení, so youíll end up thinking you just bought something, but as it turned out you only bought the possibility to get this goodie. An example is the possibility to send offline messages to performers ďeven for freeĒ as a top member, but as it turns out even for free only means if you have spent time in a private shown with a performer, and the free messages are only to her. To all other performers you have to pay, just like a normal member. The site is filled with these traps.
Had the site existed in my country, it would have been taken down for entrapment for this.
The support is ok, fast and nice for the few times I was been in contact with them. However I would say that I have heard BAD stories from other members, and even performers, but I havenít let that affect the score I have given the site as I canít confirm anything, but now you how been told.

Models:
Iíll not comments on the look of the models, their outfit etc. as itís not my place to say what people are looking for. However Iíll like to point out in the wide range of quality of the performers attitude, language skills, ďspeedĒ, and so on.

Well itís like playing the lottery really, you can keep trying to play the game, but the chance you hit jakepot are rally low. A model looking great and are playful in chat, might be slow and frustratingly boring when it comes to the fun behind the curtain. On the other hand, when you hit the big 5, you can get a performer that will blow your mind away and cater to your every need and desire. I found a few models I was able to messages my fantasy and they really went out of their way to get it to work when you then met in private.

A most annoying thing about some of the models is that they have these persons they are good friends with, which means that while youíre trying to get their attention in the free chat to find out if sheíll dog this or that for you, you end up getting drowned in the friendly talk between her and her friends. Itís bad service in my opinion.

Other models will send you a request to go into private even before you have exchange 3 sentences. Others will be on their mobiles; others will be chatting with friends in the room sheís in, others will be drunk and some just sits there starring into nothingness. I even once experience the womanís husband (I guess) walking past in the background and I also found more than one model sleeping.

Worse of all, I found that some models are even rude, like your wasting their time with questions, to figure out if sheís actually what youíre looking for. Most models will claim thatís for private, which in my point of view is nonsense; No sane person will waist the first 10 minutes discussing if the model can do what you want, not at minimum 1.99/min anyway.
That being said if you can actually find some amazing performers that will cater your every desire and not waist anytime for you in private, too bad most you money will be spend finding these performers.

Bottomline
If money is no issue to you and you can find those few good models you can be in for a threat, but if your budget is tight and youíre not into spending a lot of time looking for what you want: STAY AWAY!

Preview pictures rarely gives a true impression on how the actually model looks like on cam.

Some online models are obviously recorded playbacks (in the free section)

Even if you register and buys credits, you have to pay even more to become a actually member to watch member chat

The site is bad at explaining the different functions it offers e.g. the above member function mention above

Bottom Line:

This is actually a bit difficult to review this kind of site for me, because do you review the site itself, just the models or a combination of the 2. Depending on which one you take, youíll end up with three different results. I will try the combination.

First of this live cam experience is VERY expensive and in my p.o.v. far too much so. I mean I can actually (and I live Western Europe) hire a real stunning looking call girl for much longer for the same amount of money than for some of the average model on this site. This is just crazy in my book. Futhermore be careful as this website uses the dollar equal the euro policy. For us in Europe this means that we end up paying way more for the same service as the Americans. I really wish the EU would do something about this as itís not only confided to porn but also other business areas, but for now it seem that immoral businessmen are having a blast because of this.

Moving on: Youíll realize after some tries, that the more expensive models donít equal a better experience - far from it. I actually found an average looking woman, that gave me some really fantastic cyber sex and even though she didnít get much for the time I spent with her, she never dragged out time or tried to keep me in the paying area. On the other hand some models would drag out time, so I would become so frustrated that I just ended up leaving, because I could see my money just wasting away.
And that is the real problem with sites like this in my point of view. You never know what you get and some models are amazing while others are just plain bad and you have next to no way of telling or finding out before hand, so most of your money will actually end up being spent on finding a good experience and not the experience itself.

There is of course a free chat with the models were you can get a preview and a little chat with the woman before jumping into a private show with her, but to my experience this again offers next to no insight in the Ďrealí experience behind the private curtain. Most of the models will even press you to go into private before even discussing what you want from the women. This is useless to me and more than once I even find women there just sat there ignoring your question as if Iím wasting their time, because I want to find out if she will fulfil my wishes. Tbh I find this very rude and bad service.

That being said you can actually find a few but generally nice women to have a funny chat with and I ended up with a few friends along the way. Even in real life.

The simple preview photo of the women you get before you click a specified woman to go to the free live chat with her is in 95% of the time a really bad preview photo of how she really looks at live cam. Even more annoying is it that some of the models have multiple Ďaccountsí up, which means that the site lies when it says thereís e.g. 300 models online, when in fact the actually number is smaller, because many of these 300 live models actually points to the same women.

Even worse is it that some of the free live feeds are obviously recorded tapes and not an actually live feed. I donít know if thereís a real person in the private show with these, but I never dared to try and to find out.
The site Ďoffersí a member within member sections as I see it, but for a new user it is really confusing. I signed up and added some credit and I thought I was now a member of the site and could see the girls in their member chat to avoid the spamming from free users in the free live feed. But no this is apparently a whole feature on itís own you have to pay even more to get access to it. This would be okay, if the site just explained this better, but it doesnít and it really seems that the site deliberately tries to keep as much information hidden about such extra features to lure people into a trap, so they can milk you to pay just a little more, as you are now committed as you have already paid what I would now call the initial fee. In my p.o.v. this is a prime example of bad morale business and had the site been based in my country it would without a doubt have been sued for entrapment.

BOTTOMLINE

Iím really split in my opinion about this site. About the women: I have had a really good time with a few women here sexaully and I have even made a few friends in real life. On the other hand itís VERY difficult to find the good experiences and youíll end up paying A LOT of money to find them as the quality varies so much.

The site facilitating it all is generally bad; itíll do anything to lure its users into paying just a little bit more. Itís information levels is prime example of this, as it is lacking, confusing and misleading.

I will end up with saying: Be careful with your money if you want to try this site out Ė especially if youíre from EU.

*Exhibitionist cams do not accept tips-about half the site is non-tipping.

*Easy navigation-click tab for female, male, trans OR go through the pages.

Cons:

*Small number of models available-as the site grows, there will be more than 3-5 pages of online models.

*Some models will not perform without tips.

*No model pictures available in the profiles.

*Though not allowed, there are a few pre-recorded movies instead of live cams. (The site is really good about policing for this, though.)

*Optional pay membership is a little expensive.

*Site blog hard to navigate for specific questions.

*A few cam models have dual accounts and cameras, which are set up at the same time.
*

Bottom Line:

Chaturbate is a completely free amateur webcam site that anyone over 18 can either broadcast on or participate in cam interactions. This is a voluntary tip site, so if you have requests for models, you may have to grab a few tokens. You must be age verified to receive tips if you broadcast. Minimum payout for models is $50.00.

The site is fairly new and is somewhat small, there are around 3-5 pages of online models at a time. It is growing rapidly and the site quality continues to grow as well.

The cams are labeled; HD is for paid model memberships, Chaturbate is models accepting tips for requests and Exhibitionist is a free member who performs without the ability to accept tips.
